Sups a diddle?

It's ten minutes until I need to get to school and I'm listening to Mumford & Sons.

School is new and exciting but frightening.

Too many people have been surprised that I'm in only in grade six.

Well, I am. Deal with it, homeees.

I went back to school shopping two weeks ago at H&M. Pictures later.

Now I'm listening to Awake My Soul. I really need to be awoken. I'm half asleep and I greeted my poor mum this morning when she woke me up by whimpering and saying, "I freaking don't want to go to school."

But I have to; and since I'm leaving in three minutes with my already packed bags, faking a stomach ache wouldn't be an option. So have a good day at school, my fellow learning buddies.

Try to stay awake in math.

It arrived in the mail. Well, they all did.

Pictures soon.

and it was all yellow

Today I bought my first thing online. On Etsy. And I'm super happy.

I'm not going to tell anyone. When it arrives in the mail, I'll post pictures, but for now you will have to wait. I'm sorry.

I think I'm almost as happy as my dad when he bought a pair of pants online and we went to go pick them up. He was so excited - even for a pair of pants, like me being excited for the

You thought I would tell. No.

So I hope you don't mind about my secrecy, but me telling you would make the whole surprise just a has-been.

Oh - heres a conversation that just happened.

MOM: You do know that Gwyneth Paltrow's mom is the other mother in Meet The Fockers...?

MEEEE: Really? I love her! She's so sweet. I love her face.

All of this because I was listening to Coldplay's Yellow.

And not even Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd take my love away for that song.

crazy beach partay

A week ago, I went to PlayLand, an amusment park in VanCan with some friends. And my brother. A couple weeks before that, I went with Ruth, my nonline friend (if you don't count Facebook). So much fun. The latest time we went to PlayLand, we went on a handful of rides.
Crazy Beach Party - or Crazy Female Dog Party
and The Hellevator, this big tall structure that sends you shooting up real fast.
The Enterprise, this ferris wheel type of thing where in a pod, you spin in a circle very fast that you transition into - well - more upside-down.
I could go on, boring you, and boring me, but fortunately I love all of you, and me, so I have decided not to torture you.

So summer has been treating me okay. I guess. I miss a lot of my friends.
I also miss my old teacher a lot. And he left our school. And he told us he was leaving on the last day. I teared up. So did other kids. And it really got to us when he was all like,
"If you ever, ever need me, you know my number and I will be there for you. I'll always be with you."
I remember once, after Spring Break's trip to Las Vegas, I caught my brothers soar throat on the night before school. I went to school anyways, longing to see my friends, fighting through the pain that occurred when I swallowed. After about an hour in class, I couldn't take it and called home.
I sat in my desk waiting for my dad to pick me up, and then Mr. Bye-Bye (That's what I shall call him) told me that while I'm sick (which was the whole week) I should get some popsicles and watch "Shakespeare in Love". I got the snack, but I failed to watch the movie... until about three weeks ago. I loved it.

I also will miss my other teacher.
The past year I got to take part in a special class where we made videos.
Our final project was amazing. It was a stop-motion-animation video with a big moral. I'm not going to give it away though. If it ever gets on YouTube, I'll show it to you.

Was that too heartfelt?
